__NOTOC__'''A Wreath of Roses ''' was a 1987 Granada TV movie starring Trevor Eve, as Richard and Joanna McCallum and Fulton Mackayas Camilla, based on adapted from the novel book by novelist Elizabeth Taylor first published in 1949.<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094339/ IMDB]</ref>  While visiting friends, Camilla becomes involved with the vaguely sinister Richard who she meets on a train journey. Despite her initial mistrust, she finds herself becoming infatuated but her involvement proves unwise and ultimately chilling<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.Comorg/wiki/A_Wreath_of_Roses A Wreath of Roses on Wikipedia]</ref> .
==Filming on the SVR==
Filming took place at Arley in August 1986 <ref>SVR News 82</ref> at [[Arley]] and [[Highley]] using locomotives [[47383]] (numbered as 5721), former SVR resident [[LMS Stanier Jubilee 45690 Leander | 45690 5690 Leander]]and [[75069]]. For this film, then an a footbridge connecting Arley's platforms 1 and 2 was built as a prop. The first 13 minutes of the film were shot entirely on the SVR loco<ref>SVR News 82</ref>. The action begins at 'Hampton Station' (Arley), where a train hauled by '5721' arrives at platform 2 (the train is travelling south and arrives 'wrong platform', presumably for cinematic effect). It departs leaving Richard and Camilla on the platform waiting for connecting trains. As 5690 enters the station northbound at speed, they witness a man leap in front of it from the footbridge. Shaken, Camilla later boards her train, and is spontaneously joined by Richard who engages her in a somewhat sinister conversation. Passing Broad Oak (Highley signal box filmed travelling northbound), they arrive at 'Abingford' (Highley), the train being hauled by 75069 travelling southbound.
